Lucy Caveness/Caviness/TX in mid 1800's
My g-g-grandfather Joel D. Braddock married a lady named Lucy abt. 1870 either in Fayette or Travis Co. TX.Her last name initially was thought to be Cavendish.However, no family by this name can be located in the area at that time.Later records indicate that a Tate(?) Caveness, listed as brother-in-law to Joel D. Braddock, was living with them.This, of course, would suggest that Lucy's last name was Caveness, not Cavendish.Can anyone help with this.I have a large data base of descendants of these individuals, but would be very interested in obtaining Lucy's ancestry.
Lucy and Joel D. divorced, and Lucy moved to Brawley in Imperial County, CA. She died there in a house fire in 1921.
